Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 711
Liu Heng walked out of the palace with a helpless face, and met a minister head-on.

Luan Bu stood at the gate of the palace, standing here calmly.

The patrolling soldiers ignored him. Logically speaking, no one is allowed to linger at the gate of the palace. If the soldiers feel that you have behaved differently, they can even arrest you on the spot, but Luan Bu is obviously not within the range of being arrested. Inside.

Liu Heng saluted him slightly, and asked very politely, "Does Duke Luan have any orders?"

Luan Bu replied coldly: "I'm waiting for my lord here, Your Majesty can retreat quickly."

This is almost pointing at Liu Heng's face to let him go, but Liu Heng is very well-mannered, and he was not angry because of Luan Bu's words. Duke Luan urged."

Luan Bu kept a straight face and said nothing.

Liu Heng got into the car and quickly left here.

Not long after, Luan Bu saw Zhou Yafu being driven out of the palace by Liu Chang. Zhou Yafu walked ahead with a straight face, and Liu Chang followed behind him, kicking him from time to time.

"You think you're awesome, don't you?"

"Very loyal to the emperor? Can you be a celebrity with a long history?"

Liu Chang yelled, while kicking the big man riding a chariot general, his hands continued to push him, bringing the palace bullying to the extreme, Zhou Yafu could only suffer in silence, being bullied by Liu Chang all the way, even pushing him Kicked to the door.

Zhou Yafu was naturally very unconvinced, "I'm not wrong, he is a foreign king, what qualifications does he have to point out war affairs, and he also said that I don't know politics?! I proposed to build a military school to attract talents to study. Isn't it a hundred times better for a rich man to go in to study than to arrange for him to go to the Southern Army? He is just a bit of a vain name, and the officials kept praising him, saying that he is a good king. For Your Majesty's sake, I have already tied him up."

"Tie my brother, right?! Why don't you go and tie my mother? My mother is more in charge, and it's in Changle Palace? Why don't you go?"

"I can not!!"

"I'll call you a bully!!"

Seeing this, Luan Bu hurried forward to stop him, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Liu was so angry that he said, "What else can happen, this guy is almost going to fight the fourth brother in front of me, I managed to gather such a strong lineup, it's rare for me to relax, this guy is here What the hell are you doing!"

Luan Bu couldn't help but said: "The main reason is that some traitors always use Wu Wang to compare with His Majesty. General Zhou probably can't stand it anymore because of his bad intentions. Many of Wu Wang's actions have nothing to do with politics. Instead, he sells his name everywhere. Your Majesty. , please forgive me, it is really not a good thing for the king to stay in Chang'an!"

Liu Chang rubbed his forehead, "You guys, there are traitors who compare him to me, so go and beat those traitors, is it plausible to beat the King of Wu? He is easy to bully, right?"

"Also, what does it mean to have nothing to do with government affairs? Can't you see that he is trying to make the temple harmonious? Isn't that why he was called here? Those people calmed down before, but you guys started to make trouble??"

Before Luan Bu could speak, Zhou Yafu asked, "Your Majesty? Can we go and fight those traitors?"

"Nonsense, what do you do, you general of chariots and cavalry? You are already the highest-ranked general in the Han army. It is not unreasonable to meet three men head-on. What are you afraid of? If someone dares to make a difference, you can arrest it." , don’t catch the troublemakers, go catch the troubled ones? Is that what the Taiwei taught you? After you went to Xiting Kingdom, why did you look more and more like Xia Houzao?”

Liu Chang said sadly: "I told you a long time ago, don't have too many letters with Xia Houzao, this Xiahouzao has killed me again as a general!"

Zhou Yafu was also a little helpless, "Your Majesty, I don't know. It's not easy for me to be a chariot general. Our family is too jealous. There are three lords in one family. If I do something, there will be a lot of rumors in the temple. I Just after joining the Southern Army, there were rumors in the temple that you would transfer my father back to take charge of the Northern Army. One person will be in charge of the Northern Army, one will be in charge of the Southern Army, and the other will be in charge of the buildings and boats, saying that our family will hold all the military power of the big man "

Liu Chang's face was full of disdain, "You don't care what others say? Do I still listen to their words to deal with you?"

"Of course not, but these rumors are more dangerous than the battlefield. I am not worried about Your Majesty, but about the Changle Palace."

Liu Dachang laughed and waved his hand.

"You don't have to worry. From what I see today, the Queen Mother is old, the Taiwei is stupid, and the prime minister is indulgent. These three people are nothing to be afraid of, but I am already young. We brothers, no longer restrained, we can do whatever we want. Drinking in big bowls, eating meat in big pieces, not controlled by others!"

"Today's business is up to me, who dares not to obey?! You can do it with peace of mind, don't be afraid of others!"

As Liu Chang said, he let out a wild laugh.

Looking at the appearance of this tyrant who successfully plotted against him, Luan Bu hastily reminded: "Your Majesty! This is not the words of a wise king!!"

"Okay, stop talking, let's go, let's go to the test field to eat and inspect!"

"Come too!"

Liu Chang grabbed Zhou Yafu's neck, and the three of them got into the carriage and drove towards the test field outside the city at high speed.

In the experimental field, Dong Anguo's complexion was pale, and he was yelling: "Hurry up! Hurry up! The internal history has sent an order, His Majesty wants to see the new crops with his own eyes! Hurry up and hide the immature ones! Cover them up! ! Yes, sprinkle more arrows around!!”

When Liu Heng returned to the mansion, Liu An hurried over, holding a lot of documents, with a tired look on his face.

"Father Zhong, I've dealt with all of these."

Liu Heng glanced at Liu An, hesitated to speak, just sighed, and returned to his seat.

Liu An was a little puzzled, sat next to Father Zhong, and asked curiously, "Father Zhong, why are you so depressed? What happened?"

Liu Heng shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay, I can only hope that your father will live a long life, otherwise, alas, how are the preparations for the restructuring?"

"Fortunately, according to what my father said, I have already listed three sets. I took it to discuss with Zhang Xiang. The establishment of the cabinet was rejected by Zhang Xiang. He said that it would easily cause the wealthy family to control the temple. It was ordered by him to burn it down, saying that no one was allowed to see it, only the one in the three provinces, and Zhang Xiang could carry it out. But he felt that our establishment was too crude, so let us continue to refine it. He was worried that the change would be too large and the temple would be in chaos. It is believed that the system should be reformed first from the Sangong, and then gradually from the Jiuqing.”

Finally, there is some good news, which makes Liu Heng a little relieved.

These arrogant soldiers under Liu Chang's command, including those who are confidantes, are really difficult to get along with. Even he himself is so difficult to get along with. I really don't know how Liu An will deal with them. They only recognize Liu Chang, and even treat Liu Chang It's a bit too scary to put personal interests before the whole big man and the country. His appointment as Sangong may not be a bad thing for the big man, but it is a small threat to Liu Chang personally. Of course, Liu Heng has no intention of rebellion. But these people can no longer tolerate it. They can't bear someone with a better reputation than the emperor, taking away the credit of the emperor. And the terrible thing is that the person who has the most such thoughts has not yet returned to the temple.

If that person returned to the temple, wouldn't the situation be even worse?

Liu Heng hastily adjusted his thinking. It seems that he still needs to slightly change his attitude towards the officials, so as not to irritate these people anymore, and stop working hard.

Just when Liu Heng was deep in thought, Liu An was still reflecting on the restructuring directions they proposed, "Father is really a genius, he is said to be mediocre, and he can come up with so many official systems, all of which look like this However, if it is said that he is a great talent, he has proposed a general idea of ​​each system, but it is not detailed enough, and we have to supplement it ourselves. I don’t know how my father has so many ideas and wants to supplement these things. , It’s still quite difficult, let’s say it’s extremely difficult to integrate the three provinces and six ministries with today’s three gongs and nine ministers.”

"Lu Jia is not easy to get along with. If you don't persuade him, there is no way to start innovation."

Liu Heng stood up suddenly, "Lu Jia, we can't procrastinate any longer, we have to solve it!"

Liu An also cheered up, "Father Zhong is right! How can we solve him?!"

"I've figured out a way."

"Go and persuade him!!"

"Um???"

Liu An was dumbfounded, who would dare to say that Father Zhong doesn't look like Father's brother in the future, I will let the second child hang him on the wall!
"Are you ready to go?"

"Yes, we are leaving tomorrow."

Outside Tianlu Pavilion, Liu Bo knelt on the ground, and said goodbye to his teacher Fuqiubo respectfully.

Liu Bo had the idea of ​​traveling around very early on. He is getting older and will soon leave the country. Once he is in the country, he can only stay in the country for the rest of his life. He does not have the right to go abroad. Therefore, he wants to travel around Dahan in the two years before going abroad, to see the local situation and increase his experience. Liu Chang is very supportive of his son's idea, thinking that The princes and kings have to know the local situation, even if it is not their own territory, they should be familiar with it.

Liu Bo was planning to leave at first, but it was delayed for a while because of the affairs of the Supreme Emperor. Now, there are no major events inside or outside the temple, and he can finally leave with peace of mind.

And he came to say goodbye first, but it was his own teacher.

Now that Fu Qiubo is officially retired, he doesn't care about anything, he spends his whole day studying books and works, and occasionally goes to Houde Palace to be a guest translator, helping His Majesty translate and so on. In the past few years, he has also done a lot of things. He has completed two books, one of which is called "The Sage Says", which mainly discusses current and past social issues. For those controversial Shang Fang, Issues such as newspapers, food and goods were explained, and many seemingly absurd behaviors of His Majesty were given reasonable explanations.

According to the words of later generations, it is to start a full-time naval errand, and start to clean up the elder with all his strength.

Fu Qiubo wanted to use his influence to justify and endorse Liu Chang's policy, but what he did was a little successful. He himself had a great influence in Confucianism, and the Tai students were very angry after he left. I miss him very much. His book was just released, and Chang'an scholars looted it. In the end, even the price of Chang'an paper went up. At that time, it was called Chang'an paper expensive. And his book, from the perspective of a sage, interprets today's The policy directly turned Liu Chang into an unprecedented sacred figure who was more virtuous than Yao and Shun.

Of course, people in the Huang-Lao school still dislike his works, thinking that he boasted too much, and that he flattered the emperor for the sake of obtaining the title, and the works themselves are meaningless.

Hearing the evaluation of the Huang-Lao School, Fu Qiubo took out his second book, which is called "Ming Jun".

If the first book is still discussing the society and whitewashing Liu Chang in terms of policies, then the second book is completely flattering Liu Chang. It records and fabricates a large number of Liu Chang's words and deeds. Confucianism is stunned inside the Confucianism. Where do you write the Analects of Confucius? ?Not even hiding it? ?

The sales of this book became even hotter, and not only scholars were looting, but even officials began to end, so that every local official had a copy.

I heard that it was sold to Shendu.

Duke Fuqiu is currently writing his third book.

Knowing that his disciple was going somewhere, Fu Qiubo put away the pen and paper in front of him, and said seriously: "When you came to study with me, you were just a shy child. I went to study abroad. Since I am going to study abroad, I will tell you the reason for studying abroad. Our Confucian disciples, when they grow up, will travel to various places. When I was young, I used to be like this. The teacher will teach me the way of studying abroad, you should come closer."

Liu Bo sat a little closer, pretending to listen carefully.

"Do you know what is the most important thing about going on a study tour?"

"Diligence? Patience?"

"No, it's a crossbow. It's better to take a crossbow with you when traveling. You don't need to bring arrows. The main purpose is to intimidate the enemy. The crossbow can be hidden in a carriage. I'll teach you how to hide the crossbow without being detected."

Liu Bo looked blank, "Teacher, I am the king of princes."

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot that you can legally wield a crossbow. Just pretend you didn't hear anything, and you know how to use a crossbow, right?"

"meeting"

"Well, let me teach you something else. When you are on your way, pay attention to the distant mountains and forests. If there are birds in the air, it means someone is hiding. When camping at night, don't camp by the river. You must not use wet firewood."

"When you are interrogated by officials, don't contradict others, and lower your posture"

"If you encounter thieves, run away if you can't escape, then wait for support. If you can't wait, go fight them."

Liu Bo was dumbfounded listening to the way of studying abroad taught by the teacher, and Fu Qiubo asked with a smile: "Do you think it's strange?"

"Don't underestimate these things. Back then when Confucius led his disciples out, he was besieged by thieves and nearly killed him. After that, there were more and more thieves in the world. When we go on a study tour, we naturally have to make various preparations. Beware of everyone who comes close. If we are prepared, the thieves will respect our reputation and let them leave. If we are not prepared, we will be captured and humiliated. Although it is a prosperous age, some of the mountains and forests , it is inevitable that you will encounter thieves, you are strong, I am not worried about meeting thieves, I am afraid that you will be plotted against."

Liu Bo learned a lot about traveling abroad from his teacher, and he didn't officially say goodbye to his teacher until it was getting dark.

He went to say goodbye to several of his elders.

The queen mother was very satisfied with his study trip, and personally rewarded him with a sword for his brave behavior.

Cao Shu and Yong'e couldn't bear it, but they also gave gifts to each other.

Only Fan Qing was not willing to let his son suffer.

Her eyes were red, "Bo is still young, so he can travel around to study. What if he meets some evil people?"

Cao Shu glanced at Liu Bo, who was like a bear, and murmured, "You might as well worry about what will happen to those villains who meet him."

In Fan Qing's eyes, this strong man like a bear is still an obedient child. She stretched out her hand, and Liu Bo hurriedly lowered her head. Fan Qing gently stroked Liu Bo's head, "Why do you insist on What about going out? Even if you go out, you can’t just go out with three or four people. Take twenty soldiers from the Northern Army. If it’s not possible, let your uncle send you some elite sailors to come and have some guests at home. let them follow you"

Liu Bo said helplessly: "Mom, the world is peaceful, I will be fine, besides, Father will definitely send embroidered clothes to follow."

"I don't send."

Liu Chang was very straightforward, and he said seriously: "My son, do you still need someone to protect you when you go out? When I was five or six years old, I went to Luoyang, Liang Guo and other places alone to study abroad, and even returned this painting. Many talented people are called Gao Xian by them.”

Fan Qing wiped away her tears, "Go say goodbye to your grandmother tomorrow, and then go."

"I see."

After the family ate, Cao Shu pulled Liu Bo to give instructions in a low voice. Liu Bo listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time.

After the meal was finished, the hostesses left, and Liu Chang took his second son and walked aimlessly in the palace.

"You have grown up too. At first you liked to get into my arms the most. Now, you can be considered burly. It's not bad."

Liu Chang lowered his head and glanced at Liu Bo beside him.

"Outside, without my protection, you have to rely on yourself. I can't protect you for the rest of your life. You have to do things by yourself. This time, I won't send Xiuyi to follow you. Everything depends on you Yes, if you encounter problems, don't be reckless, but know how to use your wisdom. Although you are not as smart as your elder brother, you are hardworking, and the Confucian people like you quite a lot. Don't use your own identity when you go out this time. How about this, you say you are Lu Zhong when you leave the house, do you understand?"

"I see."

"Father, you have to take care of yourself while I'm away. I will definitely come back after my studies and live up to your high expectations."

Liu Chang stretched out his hand, gave the big man a hug, then let go of his hand quickly, and said with a look of disgust: "Don't stain my fine clothes."

Liu Bo saluted, then turned and left.

Liu Chang just looked at the shadow in the distance, and when Liu Bo was far away, he ordered: "Send someone to follow him, don't let him see it, don't let him get hurt."

The voice of King Chengyang came from the shadows.

"only."
